The human body is capable of all sorts of things to survive difficult situations.

He tries to regain control over his life with the help of Oh Ri-jin (Hwang Jung-eum ), a beautiful first-year psychiatric resident who helps him secretly. But Ri-jin's twin brother, Oh Ri-on (Park Seo-joon ), is a writer who is determined to uncover the unscrupulous lives of the rich and starts following Do-hyun around. Can Do-hyun take control over his condition before one of his seven identities takes control of him instead?

He has six other identities: Shin Se-gi: A vehement young man with a devil-may-care demeanor who appears when Cha Do-hyun experiences violence.

Ferry Park: A 40-year-old man with an affinity for fishing and building bombs. He appears when Cha Do-hyun reminisces the sweetside of his father before they came back into the mansion. The name "Ferry Park" came from the promise Do-hyun (Joon-young) made to his father, which is to buy a boat named Ferry Park Boat for him. He speaks with a Jeolla dialect .

A first-year psychiatry resident who tries hard to maintain her seemingly perfect image to cover for her real personality. At first glance, she looks beautiful, elegant and gentle, but she is actually messy and short-tempered. Ri-jin then becomes Do-hyun's secret psychiatrist, and slowly falls in love with him. In Episode 16, it was revealed that Cha Do-hyun is her real name, and that she was adopted by Ri-on’s parents. Oh Ri-jin's twin older brother.
